Having experienced similar when I was your age (I'm now 41) here's what I've found useful:

1) never ever compare yourself to others, especially based on age. do your thing. for you.

2) wanting to achieve things in life is great but how young you do them really doesn't matter nearly as much as you think it does

3) wanting to achieve things in life is great but the way you treat people day-to-day trumps any achievement

4) go with where your energy is and let your goals emerge from that rather than expect the other way around. Don't set a goal of running a marathon if you hate running.

The source will be released in full on June 1st with various components being released earlier.

That presupposes I understand them :-)

My coding followed a specific talk which didn't go at all into why these particular gates are useful.

Once I grok that, I'll improve the code.
